Good thing I'm on Linux where everything is manually done...

"Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" I bet it doesn't even do Direct3D 1-9 and OpenGL 1.x properly...
Re: A List of DOS Games with 16-Bit Sound
Posted on 2017-06-27, 20:58
My ears could be deceiving me and I don't know if this counts or not but I think Wolfenstein 3D (the very late versions of it) support 16-bit mixing but because only 1 sound is mixed at a time you don't really notice the dynamic range unless you hear a door closing at maximum range.
Re: Why is Creative's driver support so bad?
Posted on 2017-06-22, 20:06
I still remember the audiodg bullcrap with X-Fi on Windows 7 64-bit. The only way I could avoid it is make nearly everything use ALchemy and "disable the soundcard itself" in the sound devices widget. I've tried so many different drivers including all manner of official releases by Creative …

Oh... Sorry the way that was written confused me alot. You did a good job with the shader by the way, it looks pretty legit to my eyes. Too bad I hate the effect haha... I always turned that thing off in Unreal's software renderer.

Wait why would you get more framerate in Trilinear vs Nearest Neighbour?
Re: So atari is making a comeback ?
Posted on 2017-06-20, 06:04
Valve hasn't taken down the SteamOS page yet or quietly swept under the rug the system itself, so they must still care. Also Atari isn't even the same Atari we knew back in the VCS era...

Is it being DDoS'd or something? All I'm getting is "508 Resource Limit Is Reached" now...
Re: Anyone find early 2.5 shooters had more charm than early 3D shooters?

You have to either summon them yourself or used PWAD's with them placed but yes they bounce on the walls and floor. It's a very weird bounce too. Zandronum should have the skulltag weapons too considering it's a spiritual successor to the engine.

Is that WINE problem or GPU problem? IIRC modern GPUs don't support dithering anymoe. I get no dithering even on a Mobility Radeon laptop (really REALLY old laptop too) so it's probably a GPU issue but there's more to it than that, stuff that's supposed to be translucent doesn't show up as …

Playing through Shogo: MAD via Wine, but the graphics are pretty messed up because of a lack of dithering and other weird problems. I wish there was a way to fix all this.

Don't the grenades in the Skulltag additional content bounce?
Is there any way to force 32-bit rendering in legacy 16-bit 3D programs under Linux?
Posted on 2017-06-08, 09:47
I've been playing Shogo and Blood 2 under Linux via Wine and it would be nice to somehow force these games to run in 32-bit colour so the hideous banding is eliminated, but I don't suppose there's any way of doing this now is there? dgvoodoo2 is not a option for obvious reasons.

I know Jade Falcon hosts a UT99 server for us, but I've started scouring the internet for mods I've remember playing at the time and I'm looking for people around here interested in playing the crap with me. Most of the mods don't really work right online sadly (because of how garbage UT99's …
Re: Error Unloading Data From OpenAL Hardware Buffer in Doom3
Posted on 2017-06-06, 07:23
Are you sure Dhewm is using your system installed OpenAL and not something provided with it? Most open source projects use OpenALSoft and not Creative OpenAL. I had a Creative X-Fi Titanium HD (PCI express bridge chipped EMU20k2 card) and Doom 3 ran just fine with it with the last OpenAL that …

I've been playing UT99 online with several well known mods, too bad most of them don't work properly online which I can only attribute to UT99's abysmal networking code. Unreal 1 mods work online so much easier than UT99, what the hell's the deal there?
